Flesh to Ash

Flesh to Ash

Eintou Poem by Nitika Balaram

Life flows
much like a loop.
We arrive with no clue,
get lost in the mundane rat race,
seek love before we rot.
We will return
to ash.

Nitika Balaram is a writer and lawyer with a creative soul. She was born in India, grew up in New Zealand and Australia, and currently lives in Egypt with her loving husband.
